A Trilogy "Against the Odds" Book 2

Searching

Can couldn't rest, laying in bed cuddling up to Sanem watching her nap. Out of the corner of his eyes we saw Emre sneaking in their bedroom. He pretended to be sleeping as he watched him walking around as if he were looking for something. Can coughed and Sanem slightly moved but didn't wake. Emre turned around and left the room in a hurry. Can got up trying not to disturb Sanem, he quietly goes in Gamze room seeing her reading a book. "Are you ok Can"......"Yes, just couldn't sleep. Can you give me the briefcase case." So she pulls it out from under her bed. "Thanks for stashing it in here"......"Not a problem"...... He checks to see if it was locked. In which it was. So he goes downstairs and sees his Dad, Nihat and Ibriam sitting outside. "Dad, can you please lock this in your office" Aziz does as Can asked. He goes over to the table where Sanem's laptop was, picks it up, puts in their password and begins searching properties. Emre then comes out and sits near him. Can gave him the stink eye as Emre was looking around. Ibriam notices "What are you researching Brother"......"Something for my wife" he replied not looking up. By this time Ibriam came over and sat next to Can. He saw he was looking at a real-estate page on business properties like Aunt Remide. Emre got up and went back in the house.  "Ibriam, keep an eye on Emre"......"Why?"...... "He was in my bedroom looking around. I still don't trust him"......."That bastard" Ibriam got up sneaked around watching Emre. Meantime, Aziz came out to join Can after he put the briefcasein his office. Sure enough Emre heads back into Can's room. Ibriam sees him searching around the room. He goes in Gamze room "Gamze, can you please go in Can's room and act like you are checking on him. Emre is in there looking around. Can is downstairs and asked me to watch him. If you don't mind I'm gonna hide in here".......She walks in and sees Emre "Where is Can. I wanted to check on him. By the way, what are you doing in here. You should be resting too."......."I came in to check on him and spend some time with my brother. Does that seem to be a problem with you." in a smart ass tone ....."You know what Emre, I really think you should leave and let Sanem nap. I would highly recommend you do the same" Emre walked out and went to his room closing the door behind him.
Ibriam and Gamze head down to Can "He went back in the room searching again"......."While my wife is sleeping alone. That son of a bitch"......"I closed the door and locked it. So he couldn't go back in" Gamze told Can. "What's going on" Nihat asked. Can took off his neckbrace and threw it across the patio. "Can, you shouldn't take that off"....."Gamze, I feel fine. I need to work the kinks out"........"If your neck starts to hurt Please put it back on."......"What is going on guys" this time Aziz asking. "Your fucking son went in Can's room looking for the briefcase! Not once but twice" Ibriam replied raising his voice at Aziz. Then here comes Bulut around the corner. "Are you sure that's what he was doing" Aziz asked "Dad, it was quite obvious. Stop defending him. You wonder why I can't trust him. My wife is napping and doesn't deserve this"......"Calm down Son"......."Stop Dad. Bulut is there money in the case"........."Yes"......."How much?".......before Bulut could answer Aziz said "Lets go in my office" So the five of them went in closing the door and locking it. "How much Bulut tell me" Can said as he was looking out the sliding glass door. "About a million in a half"......"Are you fucking kidding me?"........"No, it is in the envelopes that Mitat gave Sanem to to put it in"........."Where is the rest of it?"......."In a safe deposit box in the vault at the bank Can. This money is for her to get her business up and running" Ibriam replied Can was now pacing back and forth running his hands through his hair saying "Ah, Sanem Ah"........"What do you want to do Can" asked Ibriam. "First, that money needs to be taken out of the briefcase and put in your safe Dad. Second, no one is to know including Leyla how much she has. This needs to stay between us and only us. I fucking mean it"......"I agree totally" Bulut replied "When she wakes up, she needs to open this case and get the money put in the safe. Then we need to all sit down with her and make a plan to move forward with her business. I think Emre and Leyla should stay out of the financial part for the fear of not trusting my own brother. And if he really is trying to take the money he will con the shit out of Leyla to get his fucking hands on it. I will handle the financial part. I am going to protect my wife to the outmost extremes with the help of you Ibriam and Bulut"......."We have both of your backs on this Can. I must say one thing though. The saying is true that sometimes your worse enemy is your own fucking family especially when it comes to money" said Ibriam. Aziz and Nihat just looked at him when Can said "You think. I can honestly vouch for that" as he gave his father a discouraging gaze. Aziz then looked up at his oldest son "Will you try to give your brother the benefit of a doubt. Maybe he was just looking for you to spend sometime with you and talk"........"Dad knock it off! I am going to say one more thing whether you like it or not. You fucking need do something about him or I am going to pack my Family up and get the hell out of here. The choice is yours" ....... Can opens the sliding glass door and walks out. Gamze come up to him with the neck brace in her hands "Please put this back on"........"No, it is to constricting. I am fine. When Sanem wakes up text me, I am going for a walk"........."Be careful please. If you get dizzy or light headed sit down and call me please. Will do that for me"......"Yes, see you later. Ibriam comes out of the open slider watching Can as he walks away "Will you please go with him Ibriam. I am worried that he may fall or something if he gets dizzy and faints. We sure don't need him to hurt his head again"........"Sure Gamze" Then he jugs down to walk with Can. Sanem finally wakes up and comes downstairs with Mevkibe, with the twins in each of their arms. They place them in the highchairs so they can eat. Nihat comes out of the office and says to her "After you get them fed would you please come into Aziz's office. Something is going on and you need to get your money in his safe"......."OK, where is Can?"......." Ibriam and him went for a walk" She fixed the twins their food and had her mother sit with them as they ate. She went into the office where Aziz, Bulut and Nihat were. Closing the door the three of them explained to her what had happen and took the money out of the briefcase placing it in the opened safe as they witnessed Aziz closing it spinning the combination wheel. She left the office and saw Emre sitting on the couch in the living room give him a disguised look and went to sit with the twins.
